title: Spectral analysis of interviews conducted by Rogers and Ellis.
abstract: Recordings of famous therapeutic interviews were digitized by computer, then subjected to time-series analysis. Spectrograms produced by the same therapist seeing different patients were similar, while spectrograms of different therapists were rather divergent. Further analyses were carried out on the digitized data. The techniques used offer promise as an objective way of quantifying therapeutic interview data.
